I Completed Yandex Practicum and Got a Job

[00:03] Motor Hello everyone, in this video I will tell you about my experience of studying at Yandex Practicum, how much I paid for the courses, who I was studying for, how

[00:15] courses, who I was studying for, how my training went, how the training went for my entire cohort, I will tell you about how many people actually completed the training and successfully passed their diploma project, and whether it is worth paying

[00:30] such a lot of money and going there to study. I will say right away that I will say right away that I found a job by getting a job at one of the largest companies in Russia. I studied on a web development course that lasted 10 months.

[00:44] Now this course no longer exists because some time ago it was updated. And I paid about 110,000 rubles for the course, and at that time I was applying for an installment plan to pay for the training. I do not think that such courses are some kind of evil and

[01:01] they should be refused 100%, but before purchasing, think a thousand times. Do 100%, but before purchasing, think a thousand times. Do you need it? I will say right away that such courses will not give you any advantage in your

[01:15] advantage in your job search because such a line in a resume with a completed course can only push away a recruiter, so keep this in mind, you will go I'd take a course like this just for the knowledge and that's it, but not for

[01:32] some magical way to find a job. As I already said, the training lasted 10 months. I studied from the end of '22 to

[01:44] September '23. Then there was no longer COVID and they began to greatly inflate the requirements for hiring juniors, so there wasn't such a freebie as

[01:56] during COVID when they took Well, practically anyone. The workshop website says that the training takes an average of 25 hours a the training takes an average of 25 hours a week. Well, in general, that's true, but this

[02:09] time varies greatly depending on what stage of training you quite difficult and at first didn't require

[02:21] much effort, but after the middle of the training, sometimes I had to submit assignments at the very last minute. That is, it's not just that the material in the workshop is really good, it's well-

[02:37] systematized, it's well-explained, it explains a bunch of all sorts of nuances that you won't find in other paid courses. But at the same time, it's also quite difficult. As for the workload on the course, I'll say that at the

[02:53] on the course, I'll say that at the time of training, I was simultaneously studying at a higher educational institution by correspondence. and plus I worked 8 hours a I worked 8 hours a day and at first the training was

[03:06] very easy and took Well, literally a few hours a week, but there were moments, especially towards the middle and closer to the end of the program, when I

[03:18] even had to sit at night and finish projects to submit them on time. In principle, the organizers were quite loyal to the students and always to the students and always gave extra time to submit

[03:32] assignments and projects. But even in this case, many, many guys were case, many, many guys were expelled and went to Akadem and did not complete the training. In the end, as far as I remember, at the graduation, out of my stream of 200

[03:46] people, about 30 people completed the training, that is, from my cohort. At the end of the training, for the last projects, we were even combined with two other cohorts, that

[04:03] is, conversion. You can count for yourself. Very few people complete the program in the stream in which they started, and many have to be expelled. Many take Akadem themselves because they simply do not have time or cannot

[04:19] withstand the workload of the program. Therefore, be be prepared. This program is not without flaws, not without problems with the simulator, not without problems with the organization itself, and

[04:35] not without problems with the organization itself, and The more you study, the more tasks you complete, the more you see some bugs, shortcomings, problems with the simulator that after a certain

[04:50] time begin to irritate you very much. As a result, after successfully passing a result, after successfully passing the diploma, you get into the accelerator. This is the postgraduate part of the program in which they help you with employment. You are

[05:05] given the opportunity to participate in team projects organized by Yandex itself. In them, you will be given some topics for developing applications. They will assemble teams for you and you will thereby receive, developing these applications,

[05:19] Well, some relevant experience, let's say, after completing the training. I participated in several such projects and I can confidently say that they really helped a lot in finding a job. The workshop is one of the most

[05:33] finding a job. The workshop is one of the most expensive course platforms in the Russian segment, so I advise you to go there to study. Only if for you this is not the last money that you give for training and if you firmly and finally

[05:49] intend to change professions. Only under these two conditions, I advise you to go and study, so the choice is yours: study independently using paid materials or go to Paid online courses or find someone who

[06:05] will guide you personally, i.e., Metori, this is now well practiced and really, this will probably bring the most benefits
